Blaze Up a Fire - Speech Debelle, Roots Manuva, Realism

Some of us seeing what we know to become clear

How many predictions come to pass this year

Did they know that North Africa would erupt

But what we know they don’t know that’s how they keep it from us

So I burn a fire from the courts to the cops

Spiritual wealth is what fills my cups

I use this hip hop to profess my love

I am not a pop star I’m a mother fucking thug

I’m a fiend for the truth, drugs

Getting lean off of liberty, pub

You see me

They let the wrong one in when they let me in

You understand what I’m saying are you hearing me

I hear what they saying with the undertones

They telling me they went to Iraq to help them grow

They’re so arrogant and so obvious

They truth pours from the ground in Fallujah

You see me

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Let it be known for the record, your honor

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Before the case gets settled, your honor

Let the fire blaze in various ways

Be it the road, be it the stage let the flames stay high

Demystify the myths they fly

Tell lies pon an I with their Tel lie Vision

Subliminal programmes for old mans in prison

Hold hands with the -ism that truly ain’t him

Paint him taint him decimate him

Reduce to a fraction of flesh and skin

We sing riddim for the culture sculpt precisely

Devilish encryption could never subscribe we

Word power and sound moving the molecule

Burn a fool run a fool with many degrees

Peppered decree

Heat the reasons

Heat the heathens

Pagously

These streets are paved with thievery

False prophets false hopes false believery

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Let it be known for the record, your honor

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Before the case gets settled, your honor

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Let it be known for the record, your honor

Sometimes you need to blaze up a fire

Before the case gets settled, your honor

So lets form the battalion and stop battling for love of medallions

Covered blood laid up in a ambulance

Can’t you see we’re just africans with new garms on

But no hearts mannequins

While freemasons dance with the Vatican

Speech I’m so tired of imagining

So ready for riots to start happening

Ye and obama I’m not backing him

Sickening they drop bombs then sing hymns in church

Like gods gone and these devils really think they’re gonna win

But they’re wrong, cos I stand strong on every song and

Pardon moi if you don’t know I am

The unknown man with unknown plans

Writing my future with no hands

Unplug your mind from the enemies programmes live life with benignity

Famalam stop the killing spree do you want to make money or history

Cos honestly hand on my heart no man in power’s every done a thing for me

Its not a mystery its liberties blaze up a fire to the victory

Go tell the judge and the jury

They don’t know the half of the story

So if I break it down slowly

They can really see where I’m coming from

I had the spark when boy dem come

Live it down, I never done

When they showed up I never run

Stood firm for the conundrum
